Surviving Persecution: The Story of Pastor Andrew Brunson

Andrew Brunson is an American pastor. He holds a PhD in New Testament from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. Andrew and his wife, Norine, lived in Turkey for 23 years and were involved pastoring churches, training believers, aiding refugees, and helping at a house of prayer. In October 2016, Andrew was falsely accused of terrorism, because of his Christian faith. Following this, Andrew was held for two years in Turkish prisons and was eventually sentenced to nearly 35 years in jail. Due to a worldwide prayer movement and significant political pressure from the US government, Andrew was dramatically released in October 2018. His book, Gods Hostage: A True Story of Persecution, Imprisonment, and Perseverance debuts in October 2019.
